The world might be a battlefield, but that doesn’t mean all our battles are visible. Jeremy Scahill, author of the best-seller Blackwater and the new Dirty Wars, reveals the truth about America’s new covert wars, which are conducted in the shadows, outside the range of the press, and without effective Congressional oversight or public debate. The foot soldiers in these battles operate with orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down, capture, or kill “enemies of America,” Scahill says—and as these wars spread violence and chaos, our country is drawn deeper into conflicts with the potential for enormous blowback and instability, putting us all at greater risk and changing us as a nation.
